Celine Dion’s career by the numbers

June 30, 2017

It’s been more than thirty years since Celine Dion burst onto the music scene at the tender age of 13 with her debut album La voix du bon Dieu. Since then, the Canadian songstress has consistently been smashing records and garnering accolades, all while blazing an unforgettable trail as one of the world’s biggest and brightest stars.

Still, the down-to-earth beauty is the first to admit that her greatest accomplishments and sources of happiness are found at home with her sons René-Charles, Nelson and Eddy.

Here, HELLO! looks back at Celine’s inimitable career and the impressive numbers she racked up with help from her biggest fan and supporter, her late husband and manager René Angélil.
